The ending of the film is that it was all the architect's nightmare. British film critic Denise Powell spoke highly of the film, pointing out that "a lot of the material in the film was written specifically for the film. It has a picture treatment that is rare in Britain and any other country"; "the whole film ends in one In a sense of insecurity that beautifully reflects the real horrors of the supernatural. There is no full explanation here, only a sense of irrational and undeserved horror of mystery."

Dead of Night quotes

  • [first lines]

    Eliot Foley: Ah! Walter Craig?

    Walter Craig: How do you do? You're Eliot Foley.

    Eliot Foley: That's right. So glad you were able to come, let's have your bag.

    [takes Craig's bag]

    Eliot Foley: We'll put the car away afterwards. You know it struck me after I'd telephoned you, rather a cheek on my part asking a busy architect like yourself to come down and spend the weekend with a set of complete strangers.

    Walter Craig: Not a bit.

    Eliot Foley: You see we're pretty cramped for space here, we need at least two more bedrooms.

    Walter Craig: And with only one living room.

    Eliot Foley: Yes, only one living room. However, we'll go into all that in the morning shall we?

    [they enter the house]

    [Walter Craig drives up to Foley's farmhouse and looks around with an expression part suspicious and part dumbfounded]

    Eliot Foley: Ah! Walter Craig?

    Walter Craig: How do you do. You're Eliot Foley.

    Eliot Foley: That's right. So glad you were able to come. Let's have your bag. I'll put the car away afterwards. You know, it struck me, after I'd telephoned you, rather cheek on my part to ask a busy architect like yourself to come down and spend the weekend with a set of complete strangers.

    Walter Craig: [to himself] Not complete.

    Eliot Foley: You see, we're pretty cramped for space here. We need at least two more bedrooms.

    Walter Craig: And with only one living room.

    Eliot Foley: Yes, only one living room. However, we'll go into all that in the morning, shall we?

    [They enter the house]

    Eliot Foley: Know this part of the world at all?

    Walter Craig: No. I've never been here before. No. Not actually.

    Eliot Foley: Well, let me take your things.

    [He notices that Craig is already hanging up his hat and coat on a coat-rack in an alcove]

    Eliot Foley: Ha ha, fancy your spotting that. Trained professional eye, eh?

    Walter Craig: Yes, of course.

    Eliot Foley: Well, we have seven other guests, so I've put you in the barn. But don't get worried...

    Walter Craig: - It has central heating and every modern convenience.

    Eliot Foley: The very words I was going to use!

    Eliot Foley: Well, this way; I expect they've started tea.

    Walter Craig: Yes. Yes, they have.
